Abstract

See full text

A curved spring structure includes a base (anchor) section extending parallel to a planar substrate surface, a cantilever section extending away from the substrate surface, and an optional elongated section extending from the base section along the substrate surface under the cantilevered section. The cantilever section includes a body portion integrally attached at a lower end to the anchor section and extending at an acute angle relative to the planar surface, and a curved portion integrally attached to an upper end of the body portion and including a downturned tip. A middle section of the curved portion is disposed a first distance away from the planar surface of the substrate, and the downturned tip is disposed a second distance away from the planar surface of the substrate, the first distance being greater than the second distance.
